What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:
On January 12 the eighth grade and I visited the United Nations to kick of the social justice project. While we were there we saw where the most important people in the world make some of the most important dissensions in the world. We took a tour of the office in NYC and it was very interesting. We saw many different meeting rooms, exhibits and more. Something very cool about the United Nations is that the decor of the office is a collaborative design from all of the countries in the United Nations. During our tour we saw an exhibit on nuclear weapons and different type of bomb used around the world. there was a very interesting artifact that was from the blast site of Hiroshima, a stone statue around 5 foot 7 inches that was found face down outside of a destroyed church. What was cool is the back of the statue is chard showing how powerful the blast really was and how destructive it came to be.
